A two-dimensional fluid simulation code has been developed in order to investigate discharge phenomena and to improve plasma luminous efficiency in a Hg flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for an LCD backlight unit. In this study, the method of a two-dimensional fluid simulation for FFL is explained and the simulation results of Hg-Ar-Ne mixture gas are presented for the enhancement of the luminance efficiency. The effects of various parameters, such as driving voltage, frequency, and gas mixture ratio, are investigated. The luminance efficiency increased with increasing fraction of mercury but the increasing fraction of argon did not affect the efficiency much.

In this study, we used screen printing on the rear glass with silver electrodes, phosphor and a dielectric which is on the silver electrodes, and carried out firing in the temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, $570^{\circ}C$, $450^{\circ}C$ each. To seal the rear and top glass together, we used crystalline frit paste as a sealing material with dispenser and carried out firing up to $450^{\circ}C$. As using this panel, we focused on optimizing the condition which influences characteristics of discharging by the distance between electrodes, electrode structure, type and pressure of gases for FFL.

Recently, Display devices have become important in the information-oriented society and flat display devices are greatly demanded. Liquid crystal display(LCD) represents one of the most promising devices for large size desk-top monitors, notebook PC and car navigation system. However LCD cannot give forth light itself and must have backlight system. The most popular backlighting system is composed of a lighting-guide plate and CCFL as a lighting source. The number of CCFL must increase up if the area of display is increased. So a new backlighting source with high luminance is needed for large LCDs. In this paper, we proposed a surface discharge FFL with the new electrode structure like the needle shaped electrode as the variation of cell structure to high luminance and low power consumption. In comparison with different electrode structure it has low discharge voltage and current and good optical characteristics. So it has better discharge characteristics than different surface discharge FFL and can be fungible for a backlight as a lighting source in LCDs.

The electrooptic characteristics of 32-inch multichannel-structured, mercury-type flat fluorescent lamps have been investigated in detail. The luminance and the lamp current/voltage have been monitored by changing the driving conditions such as duty ratio, backlight conditions. It was found that the efficiency became the maximum at the duty ratio of 50 % with a nearby metal plate.

The characteristics of Xe discharge lamp(Mercuryless lamp) are described in this paper. In this paper, FFL is operated by sine wave and pulsed source. We apply V-Q Lissajous' figure for the discharge measurements of FFL which has the electrodes covered with dielectric. When FFL is operated by sine wave source, the characteristics are similar to DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge) and SD(Silent Discharge). And we compared the characteristics of FFL which is operated with sine wave and pulsed discharge by using V-Q Lissajous' figure method. When FFL is operated with pulsed, the discharge current flows after the applied voltage is risen. As the duty ratio increases the electric field becomes strong and much more xenon ions are produced. And the number of metastable xenon atoms seem to increase, therefore, the phosphor radiation after the cut off of voltage increases compared with the first peak of radiation. Consequently, the 172㎚ radiation becomes strong as the duty ratio increases.

본 논문에서는 LCD 후면 광원용 한 쌍의 형광층, 방전용기 및 대향전극을 갖는 무수은 평판형광램프에 대하여 연구하였다. 구동 전압이 인가되면 균일한 방전이 램프 전체에 걸쳐서 발생한다. 방전개시전압은 가스 압력에 따라 증가한다. 이와 같은 경향은 방전 가스 압력의 증가에 의한 평균자유행정의 감소에 기인된 것으로 생각된다. 녹색 발광 평판형광램프에서 최대 2700[cd/m2]의 휘도를 얻었다.

We developed a Flat Fluorescent Lamp(FFL) with a high luminance by using the same discharge mode as PDP. Our FFL has the simple and unique structure where the glass substrates are used as dielectric layers. The panel has a striped line shape of 7 inch diagonal size. The Xe-Ne-He mixture gas was used to generate the plasma, and the gas discharge characteristics under both total gas pressure and partial gas pressure were investigated. The panel showed a maximum high luminance $7,270cd/m^2$ under bias of 20KHz pulse of 3KV.

Nano-sized MgO single crystal powders have recently been reported to emit ultraviolet by stimulation of electrons in a vacuum. In this study, nanocrystalline MgO powders were applied to a xenon plasma flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for a liquid crystal display backlight to improve its emission efficiency through the extra ultraviolet from the nano-MgO crystals. For comparison, a MgO nano-thin film was applied directly on the phosphors inside a lamp panel through e-beam evaporation. Adding MgO nano-crystal powders to the phosphors improved the luminance and efficiency of FFLs by around 20% and MgO nano-crystal coverage of 40% of the phosphor provided the best FFL emission characteristics; however, application of MgO thin film to the phosphors degraded the emission characteristics, even compared to FFLs without MgO. This was due to insufficient ultraviolet stimulation of the phosphors and the crystallinity and low secondary electron coefficient of the MgO.

본 논문에서는 LCD(liquid crystal display)에서의 모션 블러 현상을 저감 시킬 수 있는 scanning backlight unit을 면광원을 사용하여 설계 및 제작 하였다. 면광원은 그 구조의 단순함과 BLU(backlight unit) 조립성과 구동의 간편성으로 인해 차세대 BLU의 신규 광원으로 각광 받고 있다. 램프 휘도를 제어하기 위하여 스캔 구동 시 램프의 on-time을 조절하였으며 실험결과 램프 휘도가 선형적으로 변화되고 넓은 범위의 휘도 제어가 가능함을 확인하였다.
